MFG does NOT equal /=/ ManufacturerMFTR is BETTER equaled to = Manufacturer

Take out the stupid "G" whenever you say manufacturer or manufacturing. It is so UNnecessary.

What I've wondered is how does the little "hot" picture get assigned to a thread? Is it a certain amount of traffic or what?

Chief,

I think you should also mention the "MiniMod" feature in this FAQ. Far too often I see people posting "Mods, lock this" and other non-constructive posts, when one could simply notify a mod using this feature.

Just my $0.02.

Hi, I got a question. How would I apply a online $30 off $150 coupon at the real store, for example Staples.

Great job listing the acronyms and procedures. In addition, could you provide a sort of mini dictionary listing some of the commonly used terms such as "bump" as in "bumping a thread"? I'm sure it would be helpful to newbies such as myself.

BVG = Best Value Guarantee - with some credit cards, if you purchase an item and then find it at a lower price elsewhere, you can get back the difference (with appropriate documentation)

MIT also could refer to a small and relatively unknown school for penguins in Cambridge <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0>

Hey Chief... I've bee collecting some for a while. I just kind of combined my list with yours and alphabetized it.

By the time someone switched it to the "right" forum (deal discussion) (within 2-4 minutes)my post had already been viewed 53 times. In the 35 minutes which have passed since, the total number of views remains at 53.

Obviously, a good many followers of the Hot Deals forum thought my post was both relevant and of interest to them. Moving it to Deals Discussion brought further views to a dead halt. It seems to me that a general question about PMs, which are key elements of probably 4/5 of all Hot "Hot Deals" posted, are a question of general interest to many Hot Deal forum followers, particularly new members. A few crabby "senior members" nothwithstanding, keeping relevant posts like mine out of the highly trafficked Hot Deals forum and relegating it it to the backwaters of the deals discussion forum elevates the interests of form way over those of function.

Organization is important, but it seems to me that the inflexible segregation of posts on FatWallet forums restricts rather than enhances the free flow of the consumer information which FatWallet is in the business of providing.

**************************************************************

UPDATE: 12:25AM, PST, 7/3/2002 - As reported above, my original post had received 53 viewings during the 10 or less minutes it was allowed to remain posted on the Hot Deals Forum. At that point it was summarily yanked and posted on the Deal Discussions forum. In the 10 hours since then, my post was viewed an additional 58 times.

In other words, it has taken over 10 hours since my post was moved to Deal Discussions for the number of views registered on that forum (58) to exceed (by only 4) the number of views which my post received (54) during its brief 10 minute appearance on the Hot Deals Forum.
